Government Mileage Increase

by frugalista on June 25, 2008

Unclesam After posting about mileage expenses yesterday, readers Lou and Cool Chick brought up how the government rate for mileage has gone up by $.08. Taxpayers may use the optional standard rates to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes. The rate will increase to 58.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1 through Dec. 31. Yippee. This government increase is better than the last government increase I covered.

Here’s the mileage info.

My office gives us .22.
That’s all. Gas has almost gone up a dollar in the past eight months, and they won’t change it.
Grrrr
